poured onto the ground or thrown as a splash weapon,
it turns into a proto-shoggoth (see page 377) with one
randomly-chosen ability from the Abhoth filth table on

its ability scores are each reduced by 4 to a minimum
of 3. (It loses 30 hit points and takes a –2 penalty to
checks, and ability checks.) Anyone holding the holy

attacks the creature that dealt the most damage to it
last round, or the nearest creature if no creature dealt
damage to it last round. It does not attack creatures
displaying the holy symbol of Abhoth. It dissolves into
a puddle of lifeless slime after 11 rounds.

teapot. To use the assassin’s teapot, pour whatever is

also be a hallucinogen, a potion, or even something
helpful. The creature does not consume or expose itself
